This demobird is explosive on the battlefield. Some might call him a well-aged boy scout, but Ernest’s sense of honor and duty brings a new means of support and defense previously absent from the Peacekeepers – this is no small part thanks to his grenade launcher. The various explosive charges help Ernest lean on the offensive or provide a mean line of defense for his team.

Catch a sneak peek at this demolition-obsessed avian in today’s Gearbox Software livestream! Check out Ernest gameplay and get the inside scoop from the Devs.

A new round of skins will be available in the Battleborn Marketplace later today! Whether you want to hit the battleground lumberjack-style or are planning some online espionage, there are six new skins to choose from for Rath, Galilea, Deande, Montana, Ambra, and Caldarius.
